(a) how cool everyone that does Poi seems to be, no matter where they are from, how good they are, how long they've been twirling etc.

(b) how addictive, facinating and infuriating this artform is. and i'm only on the tip of the iceberg, only in my first month still!

Many thanks to the random fire and glowstick Poi people at reading for spurring me to give the 'bloody swingy things' a try. (Shocking first attempt, far too stoned!)I am now wholly obsessed with said 'bloody swingy things' and can see myself twirling for a very very long time.

PS your arms don't fall off if u do too much do they? Feels like it after 6 hours today!

Posted:6th Oct 2003but yeah no wonder we get these weird muscles developing - does anyone else in the world have to move like poi-ers? Why would you ever otherwise need to perform the movements? No wonder Poi is hard! And that's what makes Poi so great

Posted:6th Oct 2003 Poi helps with some of the shoulder muscles used in canoeing, went on a trip over summer and everybody was complaining about how much their shoulders hurt in the beginning. Myself, I was perfectly fine

Posted:6th Oct 2003Just wanted to pop in and thank circleoflight (what is this about flying circus lions anyway?) for insiring me o take an evening and Practice Poi agian. It's been a long time since I've done that. I mean just me and my Poi and some groovy tunes, not practicing with a group where I wind up spending most my time teaching. I mastered two new multi-wrap moves that I am now very happy about.
